If someone just has System for gaming only, is there really a risk? Shunning they only sign into game clients.

    I you are considering the random hypervisor as a potential threat (which you should):

    • your auth tokens for things like Steam could be stolen, and possibly be used to make purchases with linked cards, or empty your inventory of things like CS skins, gift copies of games, etc.
    • if not fully isolated, it could be an attack vector to other machines on your LAN
    • peripherals like mic, camera, keyboard could be accessed to spy on you
    • and more...
